Saturday?
At 8?
Hmm. I should get out and socialize.
It would be good for me.
Maybe this will work.
Am I doing anything else that day?
... No.

But, maybe there’s something better going on?
Let’s check, I wouldn’t want to miss out…
No, nothing else.
“Leonardo’s Tavern.”
Hm, never been there before.
Let’s check the Web site.
What’s on their menu?
Hmm – I could have fish and chips,
or the putanesca looks okay,
but I could probably get any of this stuff anywhere else…

Let’s see who’s coming…
11 people said Yes.
Hmm, from their photos, not exactly my kind of people…
Will I have anything to talk to them about?
Probably not…
What would I have to wear?
Casual attire… that’s good.
I’d have to pick out an outfit though,
I’d want to make a good impression…

Where is this place?
Let’s check Google Maps…
Hmm, yes, I think I could manage that…
Let me just simulate it with street view,
I wouldn’t want to get lost…
“Quaint country setting,” it says.
Oh, I like that.
But it’s a tavern, that’s like a bar.
Will it be loud?
Probably…

Loud people and bar food…
“Entertainment nightly.”
Oh, that’s not good – that means noise.
Let’s see what yelp has to say…
Hmm, this person gave it one star.
Didn’t like the ketchup…
That’s not good…

One hour later...

Erm, I just don’t feel right about this…
It would be nice to get out,
but, I don’t think this is the time…
That’s what I’ll do,
I’ll wait for the next one.
